You did up your game with this video. I am going to make one of these over the weekend. I love the idea of using a router to make the curve, roughing cutting using a bandsaw, then follow up with a flush cut bit. I assume that makes a really smooth joint with the veneers. Also, another cool idea was your homemade outside guide for cutting veneers. Great use of a bearing.
Thanks Matt! Yea it made for a very good tight joint. The tricky part is the clamp up with it sliding around. Good luck on the build, I'd love to see how it turns out. If you're on Instagram, tag me @althoffwoodshop of it or reach out there if you have any questions (I'm better at responding on there).
Wow, just wow! Beautiful board! I feel like you went for a similar "vibe" in making your video as I did with mine on my board. Excellent video my friend 👍👏👏👏👏
WOW, gorgeous piece! One day I will have the right tools for this and I will definitely refer back to your video for instruction. BTW, I usually don't watch videos where the person isn't speaking but you have just the right music so thanks for that :-)
I love the thought and planning that went into this project, and I have learnt a new trick - that being routing a shallow slot with the flush trim router to a template, then sawing and finishing with the flush trim router to the slot edge. That's clever and effective. Fisher's Shop just went through with the bandsaw free hand and sanded out the saw marks. Your method is going to be much nicer because you can sand the template edge whereas Fisher's Shop can only do minimal clean up to ensure both sides will match. He made the point of using inserts the same width as the saw kerf so that the slightly different radii (inside and outside of the curve) will be spot on. Did you do the same thing but working to the router bit diameter? It looked like that was the case, but I'd need to watch the video again to have a better idea. Anyway, very nice work, and very nicely done. BTW I thought the round over ends worked particularly well with the inlays. Pure class.
@@Althoffwoodshop could you just route the wave shape and press the cut-to-size strip in with glue? The ends would obviously show the strip didn't go all the way through but from the top it would provide the same visual maybe?
That’s not a bad idea however you would need to have tight tolerances on the strips and the groove otherwise there would be inconsistent gaps. Even with my drum sander dialed in my strips vary about +/-0.1 mm over their length. Doesn’t seem like much but it’s harder to hide when you can’t press them together with big clamps. This method gives me wider tolerances and I don’t need to put the dial calipers down the length of every strip.
I'm just guessing but since he didn't respond I'm thinking he didn't like the rough cut a bandsaw makes, so he starts with the router to make the path (that also provides the shoulder for the router bit to ride on), then cuts it apart so the flush trim bit doesn't have too much work to do. The flush trim with the router gives a nice finish that minimizes sanding. To use the router for the whole cut would take more time, and his bit may not have been tall enough to go through the whole thickness.
Super-nice! What I don't understand is why people who work so hard to get such a beauty done, discount one side and install those rubber feet, deeming the whole work to be single-sided...
I dont recall where I first saw that but it let's me repeatedly cut thin strips without worrying about the blade touching the fence. Its just a board with a bearing held by a scrap dowel rod.
Truly stunning, both the woodcraft and the video! Question for ya! Why move to the bandsaw vs. routing with the straight bit all the way through? [Assuming the bit cut depth is long enough for the stock.] Thanks so much and keep up the incredible work.
Great video! Thanks a lot for posting. I tried doing some curves and the first time the curve radius was too small, I could not bend the stripes. Later I got better results. What I am struggling now, and i LOVED your solution...when you glue up the boards the first time, you have a true surface (did you use a plastic cutting board? Where did you get that size?), even if I use pipe clamps it happens that I end up with some wobbling...I hate that, since I waste a lot of time at the planner to make it right, loosing significant thickness. I want to design something to ensure the boards are straight. Your solution looks great, where did you got that board?
I have been very lucky with mine. One way to manage is lift up the opposite end slightly as it goes in and then again as it comes out. Hope this helps. If not I'll look later and see if those outfeed tables are adjustable at all.
The tables are adjustable and will have to try adjusting mine so they will lift more on the feed and out feed of the wood as you suggested. Thanks for your input
Thanks. I took a break and went back for my masters degree and built a new house. Degree is done and now in new house with new shop. Hopefully more videos coming soon
A "cutting board" means an orthogonal orientation, so a knife serves longer. You had to slice an initial board, rotate the slices by 90 deg, and glue together. The rest looks great.
With a branding iron. I opted to get an electric one, cost more up front but much more consistent I hear than the torch heated ones. I think I got mine from Branding Irons Unlimited (?)
@@Althoffwoodshop I have a quality electric branding iron also. Don’t seem to get you results. Do you handle the iron or press it on mechanical. Would be helpful if you did a video on it. WoodRicks
I just use the handle, press hard with a slight wiggle and count to 10. I always test on a piece of scrap of the same wood before hand. I like the video idea. Adding to my list, might be the next one since it should be easier to shoot than the other idea
Maybe in the next one I’ll publish 2 versions, one with with music and one without? I know there are fans of the music ones but seems like more than I initially thought that just want to hear the shop sounds.

Using the workpiece itself as the guide for the flush trim bit was mind-blowing to me. I have never seen that technique before. Thank you.
Outstanding craftsmanship, very creative work. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🙏🏼
A lot of dedication, perfect work. Congratulations 👏👏 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Your work is brilliant. Your lighting is also spot on... fantastic everything!
Thank you very much!

What types of wood did you use in the making of this board?
That thin strip jig you're using on the band saw is terrific
Thanks!
The perfection in your work is great
That is a work of art. 😭 Thank you for sharing.
That bandsaw, though!
I love that bandsaw
Absolutely stunning work. The details and the time. The board looks fantastic. Great video and music to accompany it. Well done.
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this! So much time is spent doing these. Great piece! Thank you!
*Stunning end result*
Thank you!
nice movie! what a production! Great looking board too!

I plan to. Shop is in storage while we build a new house. Planning on new videos come April 2021
Great production! So nice!
Thank you!
Nice build! Looks great. Subscribed.
Really Nice
Beautiful work! Personally, I would prefer narration rather than a music video. Thanks
Beatful work my friend .
Thank you!
Great work

Well done
I just say, great!! Thanks for sharing it with us.

This is correct. I likely meant to respond originally and somehow got distracted (this happens more than I'd like to admit)
Truly impressive and a work of art. Thanks for the inspiration!

Don’t disagree. That’s what the customer wanted though.
Projeto perfeito lindíssimo
Obrigado! (Hopefully Google Translate got “Thank you” correct)
Awesome vid. thanks for sharing.
Beautiful board man! I'd be interested in seeing more on that pressure board (?) you have for your bandsaw at 5:55.
I dont recall where I first saw that but it let's me repeatedly cut thin strips without worrying about the blade touching the fence. Its just a board with a bearing held by a scrap dowel rod.

What kind of wood did you use for this amazing cutting board?
Beautiful......
Is there any other way to cut those curves without guide bushings?
Very cool
Thank you!
Great video but I would love to see it without the music and just the sounds from your shop.
Without using a sacrificial board with your planer- how do you manage snipe? I have the same Dewalt planet and struggle with snipe.
I have been very lucky with mine. One way to manage is lift up the opposite end slightly as it goes in and then again as it comes out. Hope this helps. If not I'll look later and see if those outfeed tables are adjustable at all.

I subscribed your channel great work. I’m not seeing new videos for last two years did you quit making videos? God bless.
Thanks. I took a break and went back for my masters degree and built a new house. Degree is done and now in new house with new shop. Hopefully more videos coming soon
That’s great I do a little wood work …can’t wait to see more but I will have to. Lol. God bless
I post a lot more on “Instagram stories”, doing stuff on the new shop build.
Why do you use the router to make the line of the curve instead of just cutting the line with the bandsaw?
*What a masterpiece, would not use a knife on that!*
Thank you!
A "cutting board" means an orthogonal orientation, so a knife serves longer. You had to slice an initial board, rotate the slices by 90 deg, and glue together. The rest looks great.
How much mm are you taking per pass on the jointer? Usually?
Maravilhosa...........parabéns!!!!
Hi how did you do the hot stamping of your logo
Branding iron from Branding Irons Unlimited. It was pricey but worth every penny in the end
Epic
Nice!
Superb

What is the glue roller called.
It's just a glue roller made of silicone. I got that one from Woodcraft
What bandsaw blade is that?
Laguna Resaw King. Carbide teeth, its not cheap but worth every penny
Althoff Woodshop thank you!
💣
What are those rubber things on the bottom of the board called?
Circular rubber feet??
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What size did you cut those bended strips at for the design?
About 1/8" thick for each strip
@@Althoffwoodshopgreat, thank you
👍
Is that Maple and did you cut 2 X 2 or 1 1/2 X 1 1/2 inch planks?
Yes, it was 1.5 inch maple

A plus xxxx
Wasn't too bad to watch once I muted that awful music mess.
Next time, more cow bell.
@@Althoffwoodshop Classic response.
BTW, the music was great.
very nice technique and work but I have to disagree with salz118. I would ease up on the music, it's a cutting board not a cure for cancer
Tired of watching how to videos that teach you nothing
Without gay music please?
Why am i crying?
Great video but I would love to see it without the music and just the sounds from your shop.
